Dreadnought
| Глоссарий морских терминов (рангоут, такелаж, устройство судна) |
- A type of battleship designed with an "all-big-gun" armament layout in which the ship`s primary gun power resided in a primary battery of its largest guns intended for use at long range, with other gun armament limited to small weapons intended for close-range defense against torpedo boats and other small warships. most, but not all, dreadnoughts also had steam turbine propulsion. predominant from 1906, dreadnoughts differed from earlier steam battleships, retroactively dubbed "predreadnoughts", which had only a few large guns, relied on an intermediate secondary battery used at shorter ranges for most of their offensive power, and had triple-expansion steam engines.
- [1] generic term for a battleship. [2] name of a british warship launched in 1906; the first to be heavily armored and carry a battery of uniform caliber heavy guns—a revolutionary design which made all previous battleships obsolete. (said to have been named after the family motto of her sponsor, first sea lord john arbuthnot [jackie] fisher, “fear god and dread nought.”)

Battleship, английский
- A type of large, heavily armored warship of the second half of the 19th century and first half of the 20th century armed with heavy-caliber guns, designed to fight other battleships in a line of battle. it was the successor to the ship-of-the-line of the age of sail.
- [1] a sailing ship-of-the-line. [2] the most heavily-armed and armored of power-driven warships (cf. dreadnought).

Booby, английский
- A type of bird that has little fear and therefore is particularly easy to catch.
- A well-known tropical sea-bird, sula fusca, of the family pelecanid?. it is fond of resting out of the water at night, even preferring an unstable perch on the yard of a ship. the name is derived from the way in which it allows itself to be caught immediately after settling. the direction in which they fly as evening comes on often shows where land may be found.
- This tropical sea bird liked to perch on the yards of sailing ships where, because it had few predators and no fear, sailors could approach near enough to easily catch it. this led spanish seamen to call it bobada (stupid) and the word was adopted into english as both the name of the bird and slang for a fool. the bird’s puffed out chest also reminded sex-starved seamen of a woman’s breasts, which they colloquially called boobs. all three terms found their way into common usage.
- Тот, кто пришёл последним к финишу, набрал меньше всех очков и т.п., первый с конца
Brigantine (also hermaphrodite brig), английский
